About Lord Voldemort

A dark and destructive force, Lord Voldemort was the deadliest wizard for centuries before being destroyed by Harry Potter. Devoid of emotion and conventional human responses due to his conception via love potion, Voldemort is incapable of giving, receiving or even understanding love. He began a path of destruction to achieve his ultimate goal, immortality, total domination of all people, the death or enslavement of muggles and the rebirth of pureblood magic.

On his long list of murder victims, are James and Lily Potter, parents to Harry. Their murders set off a chain of events that led to Voldemort’s final destruction. Years of planning and betrayal, years of murder came down to the Battle of Hogwarts and the long awaited death of Voldemort at the hands of Harry Potter. His simple inability to understand kindness and his irrational fear of death made it impossible for him to succeed. The destruction of Voldemort ended two generations of death and violence.
